Happy Mother's Day!

Well, Lilly started Mother's Day off with her own little present for Mommy--sleeping until 9:00 a.m. without even making a peep through the night!! Thank you Lilly!! We got up and ate some breakfast. Lilly and Matt gave me a certificate for a 90 minute prenatal massage (Yea baby!) which I plan on cashing in very soon. What a thoughtful husband, daughter, and baby-boy-to-be I have!!!! Then, I took a nap and Matt did some house work. The gifts just kept on giving. Thank you Matt for being such a great, supportive, and helpful husband to me and father to our babies. Mommy and Lilly. I loved my first official Mother's Day. It was such a special day with special meaning because I just love being Lilly's mom and I am very excited about being the little guy's mom too!

After I woke up, we went to GG Odie's to see the whole family. After such a busy Saturday, Lilly was a little overwhelmed by being around so many people for the second day in a row. She did get to see Grandpa Dennis though!

They had a good time with the chicken (it sings the chicken dance and flaps it's wings--Lilly flaps her arms, too. Ha.)

GG Odie, Grandma Oksana, Oksana's mom, and Lilly. Oksana's mom brought her the cutest outfit from Uzbekistan. I will post a picture on the next post. Thanks again, we love it!!

The usual suspects...haha.

I just love the look on her face in this picture!!

By this time, Lilly was done with photo opportunities. She was so overstimulated! She is such a trooper. She lets us take her all over the place and is happy to tag along with us. So, if she gets tired every once in a while, I try to take note. So today (Monday) we just relaxed at home.

The gang again. It was so good to see so much family this weekend. My favorite thing to do is to be around family so this was a great weekend for us.

We left GG Odie's and let Lilly get a good nap. Then, we met up with MoMo for dinner. The above picture is MoMo giving Lilly some of her favorite treat...ICE CREAM.

Yummy!

"Mom, why are you taking another picture?????" Oh yeah, at dinner, Lilly ate peas without any problems!! The peas win!! I guess we will have to wait and see if it was just a fluke or if she likes them now.

The Parents

I snagged Matt up out of the dating pool and we got married 8 1/2 years ago! He is an amazing husband to me and awesome father to our two little ones. We are just a couple of Christian people trying to get closer to God, reflect Him better, and raise our children in His Word and His Way!! We are loving every minute of this busy/fun/blessed life!

Silly Lilly

This little princess is a mixture of sweet and sassy! She keeps us laughing with practically every word that comes out of her mouth. She can melt your heart with a smile and a giggle and then turn right around and keep you on your toes with some mischeviousness! Her facial expressions give away her every thought and we just couldn't love her more (but somehow tomorrow we will)!

Reidster Speedster

This is our boy with the magic smile! He is a perfect mixture of sweet and snugglie and ALL boy. He is laid-back like his Daddy and full of energy like his sister. He is happy climbing and dancing or curled up reading a book with Mommy. He is always learning some new trick and we can't wait to see what he is going to do and say next!

The Family

My handsome man and I have been married for 7 years. We are the extremely blessed parents of Lilly and Reid. This blog documents our lives, allows the grandparents and other family to see regular pictures of the little cuties, and helps friends and family stay in the know about us! Overall, we are simply a God-loving family of four!
